A shipboard wedding may be a new experience for you, so please review the info below to ensure a stress free day for everyone.

You must debark (get off of) the ship immediately after the reception. When leaving the ship, you will need to redeem your ID in the ship’s terminal. Sailing Guests: All sailing guests should be completely dressed for the wedding when arriving at the cruise terminal. Please ensure that you have everything you need for the wedding, as you will not see your checked bags until after. Ensure that all ticket documents have been completed prior to arrival at the pier to expedite check-in and have proper boarding documents available.
